Description

This October, Berber & Q launches DIRT. at Shawarma Bar in Exmouth Market, celebrating the diverse soil and climates in the wine world. Once a month until December, Berber & Q very own Mattia Bianchi will take on two leading sommeliers from London and beyond, as they hunt in search of the best bottles from their chosen soil: Magma (Volcanic wines), Salt (Wines of the sea) or Peak (Mountain wines).

Showcasing and sharing the stories behind their bottles, from a few well known to the downright obscure, as well as other completely new to the London wine scene and sourced outside the UK. Guest sommeliers will go head to head to find out whoever’s bins are emptied first.

This won't be the usual tastings, masterclasses or winemakers dinners - but something more fun, exciting and dynamic. DIRT. gives a chance to meet some of Europe’s most exciting sommeliers in a relaxed environment, drink obscure bottles at entry level prices, have a banter, eat some food and hopefully get a bit drunk too.
